Bottled - vintage 1998. An unclear dark golden beer with an off-white head. The aroma has notes of over ripe fruits and malt. The flavor is sweet with notes of malt, alcohol, and over ripe fruits, leading to a dry alcoholic finish. Thanks CaptainCougar for coming to Denmark and bringing this.

Sampled from 12-oz bottle and shared by Badgerben. Pours a semi-hazy orange caramel colored brew with a thin head that quickly dissipates to a clean top. Aroma of powdered caramel malt, some dark pitted fruits, some sour cherry and raisin. Taste is full bodied, boozy profile with some fruit tart berries and raisin. Finish is metallic with some caramel and whiskey aftertaste with a salty bitterness. It’s showing its age.

Bottle 35,5 cl. Courtesy of CaptainCougar. Vintage 1998. Cloudy and opaque reddish amber with an off-white head. Fat, cheesy aroma. Solid body, tart and oxidized fruits with notes of blood and metal. No real bitterness. Over the top I’m afraid. 300809

10 years old. Beautiful clear, dark reddish tea color. Nice bright aroma. Huge burst of flavor, followed by lingering alcohol warmth. Leaves a dryness in the roof of mouth and side of tongue.
